    I was heading back from Wgtn last Sunday got to Bulls & the weather looked interesting to say the least up the west coast So I did a little diversion via SH2 then SH50 on to Fernhill/ Swamp Rd/Puketapu/Dartmoor then Glengarry Rd which puts you back onto SH5 heading to Taupo long way home but managed to miss most of the rain didn't need to put the wets on at all......

    Good reason to try out me new Shoei XR1100 Conquerer Click image for larger version.

    I had to give Brooke and "what the hell is this?" the other day 'cause the bike looked like it had gone through a swamp. Even the bike shop gave her stick. No respect. Wouldn't have that problem if it was tucked up in the garage under it's blankie.

    very good pricing at Boyds at the moment for these ($895) they thrown in the tinted visor ($130) & these come standard with the pinlock & anti fog set-up which I tested more than once on my last outing & swear this IS the best anti-fog set-up $$$ can buy....... " SO WHAT YOU WAITING FOR BROOKE ? "

    haha Brooke's Shoei Raid is still in immaculate condition so she doesn't really need another helmet. She's also just forked over a good chuck of cash for some winter gloves and winter jacket. In saying that, I did tell her that since we were looking at getting a pinlock visor for her helmet, she could just spend the extra $700 and get the visor free. It makes perfect sense

    We're looking at getting a Kriega pack as well instead of a Ventura pack rack but GOD they're pricey. Since she's riding the bike everyday might as well try and make it as comfy as possible.

    Road and Sport have the Shoei Qwest with the pinlock in at a good price IIRC. It is the replacement for the RaidII. I am going to get one as my RaidII is F*&ked.
    Just don't have the pingers spare at the moment.

    i got mine from boyds for $700, and i recently got a tinted visor for $89, but then had to pay like $50 for the insert as it didnt come with it. its anti fog is awsome. only ever had this helmet so i was shocked when i rode with my tinted visor before getting an insert, couldnt believe how quick it fogged up. dont think id ever get a helmet without one.

    wait have to edit lol, just clicked you got a graphic, mines a solid colour thats why it was cheaper.

    Will definitely give the clear one a shot. That'd be bloody fantastic if it fits. I'll get her to get hold of you.

    I paid $900 for mine when they first came out and they through in an iridium visor. Those bloody things are $200! I got sick of the iridium one fogging on misty days on got an insert for that as well. They really are awesome. Now I just need 2 little ones to stop my bloody glasses fogging up! haha

    owww tractor shop I think after trying on the 1100 she wouldn't bother with anything else. I'd say by the time she got the money together for it, they'll have the 1300
